Many regions across the U.S. experienced “record-breaking high temperatures" in 2023 due to extreme heat, according to the CDC. Experts share risk factors and safety tips.
"Extreme heat could be considered an invisible killer … as many people become exposed and vulnerable to its dangers quickly and often without warning." "Prolonged exposure to high temperatures is associated with increased hospital admissions for cardiovascular, kidney and respiratory disorders."
More males went to the emergency room for heat-related illnesses than females – especially those between 18 and 64 years old.
